Todd Bentley's Apostolic and Prophetic Commissioning 3/4

Tropical Storm Fay (Excerpt)
Joseph Herrin - 08/24/08

Is it mere coincidence that the same week that the storm was ravaging Florida that news came out that Todd Bentley, the leader of what was called "The Lakeland, Florida Revival" was exposed for having been carrying on an adulterous relationship with a female member of his ministry staff, and his wife has now declared that she will divorce him? How many warnings were given to the church about the uncleanness of this work and the man leading it? Yet just a little over a week before this matter became known Peter Wagner, along with 16 others, laid hands upon Todd Bentley, commissioning him as an evangelist, and prophesying that what had begun was going to continue to grow and intensify. Wagner's organization, International Coalition of Apostles (ICA), was represented in that 13 people who participated in this endorsement of Bentley were deemed to be apostles by the organization.

If these were truly apostles, then where was their spiritual discernment? Did not any understand that there was great impurity present and God was about to expose and judge it? Were these truly apostles who not only endured this evil man, but who joined themselves to him thereby sharing in his sins?

I Timothy 5:22
Do not lay hands upon anyone too hastily and thus share responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.

Perhaps they were not truly apostles at all. I strongly suspect the majority are not appointed by the Lord as apostles. Their appointment has come from man.

Revelation 2:2
I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot endure evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false...

If one views the proceedings of this "alignment" ceremony, they should certainly question what spirit is behind the madness. I encourage you to watch the following videos of this apostolic alignment ceremony, and pay attention to the words of those speaking. Peter Wagner prophesies a release of greater power and greater authority and yet shortly after this the entire "revival shut down. Che Ahn quotes from Scripture declaring that Todd Bentley is pleasing to Christ in every way, leading an exemplary life while the opposite has been true.

These men are considered the heads of what many view to be Spirit led and empowered ministries. Yet the truth is that they are spiritually blind, and about to make a shipwreck of their lives, and that of many babes in Christ who have placed their trust in their judgment. It is my prayer that perhaps some might be awakened to the depth of deception they have been walking in and come to repentance before the storm of God comes crashing down upon His people.

Ouch! A shameful display of pagan religion disguised as something "christian"... Self congratulating, self anointed "prophets".. Sad how Jesus Christ and Him crucified for the ungodly just isn't the message for these fanatics. Luther said of these 'enthusiasts' (same charlatans in his day also) that they are of a different 'spirit'.. I pray that this wolf won't get too many sheep.

@Marquitos2

She is NOT a "Witch" she is a CHRISTIAN!

Do you even have a clue as to what the word means or where it originated??? Once again, it was Hate Speech by the Christians against another Culture. Archaeology is our only hope of restoring Human Rights and correcting the Christian Bias in the History Books.

@tickmann

Thank you for demonstrating your Ignorance. Do you have any idea what "Paganism" means, and where the word came from? It was Hate Speech by the Christians against everyone else! Over two Millennia, but so little has changed. SMH

Yahweh is going to be in big trouble when Al and Asherah get home! He did not do his chores, and he was only supposed to be baby-sitting, not interfering and misinforming.

Aren't there Medications to treat that Neurological Condition?

The "Voice in Your Head" is Your Own EGO!! Get Over YOURSELF!!

Although this ridiculous display of a so called anointing of God is over and done with, as a Christian I would have called these "False Prophets and Apostles" out on the floor and rebuked them,of course while the ushers manhandled me out of the building. Forgive us Lord.
